Connecting a probe 2.3
A wide range of probes manufactured by GE Sensing
& Inspection Technologies may be used in combination
with the SpotChecker, provided the suitable connecting
cable is available.
In addition, the dialog probes of GE Sensing & Inspec-
tion Technologies can also be connected, and they
are automatically recognized by the USLT system.
This requires the use of the probe connecting cables
MPKL2X or SEKL2X.
The probe connecting cable must be equipped with a
LEMO 00 plug at the instrument end. Existing cables
can also be used by means of a probe adapter.
The connector sockets for one or more probes are lo-
cated on the top side of the SpotChecker.
When connecting probes having only one transducer
element, both connector sockets are equally suitable
(connected in parallel) so that it does not matter which
one of the two sockets is used.
The connectors for transmitter and receiver are
marked with red ring (= receiver) and black ring
(= transmitter).
A
Attention:
Wrong connections lead to a mismatching which may
result in considerable power losses or distortions of
the echo waveform.
When connecting a dual-element (TR) probe (having
one transmitter element and one receiver element), or
two probes (of which one is transmitting and the other
one receiving), attention should be paid to the follow-
ing assignment:
– Connect the transmitter element to the socket
marked with the black ring.
– Connect the receiver element to the socket marked
with the red ring.
